Exciting to see my work with @OlgaStoddard @kbuzard7 featured outside the hallowed halls of academia 😴😴😴 Thanks so much to @ConversationUS for highlighting the downsides of being the “default parent” as many return to school this month theconversation.com/better-c…

Better call mom: Schools still see mothers as the default parent to contact

When both parents appeared equally available, schools were 40% more likely to call students’ moms, rather than their dads.

NATICK — While runners tossed half-eaten bananas to the side of the road, life gave five kids lemons. Those lemons were a perfectly located house, right on the marathon course, so they decided to make lemonade. #BostonMarathon #BostonGlobe

Very happy that our paper “Gender Norms and Labor-Supply Expectations” (w/ E. Grewenig & K. Werner) is published in @EJ_RES (tinyurl.com/56c2dmfb). In a survey of 2,000 adolescents, making traditional gender norms salient lowers girls’ expected work hours and related outcomes.

Why Pre-K Is Good for a Parent’s Career

A study suggests that when parents enroll their child in prekindergarten, the earnings and career benefits can be substantial

A sneak peek into some brand new work with @kbuzard7 and @LauraKGee on the gender gap in the invisible mental load and why it exists 🚀
Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute@OIGInstitute17 Jul 2025
"We know there’s a gender gap in visible tasks, things like who is cooking dinner, doing the housework, coordinating child care. What we don't currently know is whether that gender gap extends to the invisible mental load.” Read our Q&A with @olgastoddard: bit.ly/4eQenlv
